Intervention-induced enhancement in intrinsic brain activity in healthy older adults [PDF]
This study examined the effects of a multimodal intervention on spontaneous brain activity in healthy older adults. Seventeen older adults received a six-week intervention that consisted of cognitive training, Tai Chi exercise, and group counseling ...

Uncoupling in intrinsic brain activity. [PDF]
One of the remarkable discoveries in the history of functional neuroimaging was that a consistent set of brain regions show decreases in blood flow during performance of different tasks when compared to rest (1). The idea that this might be due to quiescence of an activated state during rest (e.g., due to “mind wandering”) was countered by the finding ...

Does Aerobic Exercise Influence Intrinsic Brain Activity? An Aerobic Exercise Intervention among Healthy Old Adults [PDF]
Previous studies have indicated that aerobic exercise could reduce age related decline in cognition and brain functioning. Here we investigated the effects of aerobic exercise on intrinsic brain activity.

Sculpting the Intrinsic Modular Organization of Spontaneous Brain Activity by Art. [PDF]
Artistic training is a complex learning that requires the meticulous orchestration of sophisticated polysensory, motor, cognitive, and emotional elements of mental capacity to harvest an aesthetic creation. In this study, we investigated the architecture

Static and dynamic resting-state brain activity patterns of table tennis players in 7-Tesla MRI
Table tennis involves quick and accurate motor responses during training and competition. Multiple studies have reported considerably faster visuomotor responses and expertise-related intrinsic brain activity changes among table tennis players compared ...

Organization of Propagated Intrinsic Brain Activity in Individual Humans. [PDF]
Abstract Spontaneous infra-slow (<0.1 Hz) fluctuations in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals are temporally correlated within large-scale functional brain networks, motivating their use for mapping systems-level brain organization.

A Real-World Observation of Antipsychotic Effects on Brain Volumes and Intrinsic Brain Activity in Schizophrenia. [PDF]
BackgroundThe confounding effects of antipsychotics that led to the inconsistencies of neuroimaging findings have long been the barriers to understanding the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ). Although it is widely accepted that antipsychotics can alleviate psychotic symptoms during the early most acute phase, the longer-term effects of ...
